games right now i'm planning to play doom3 don't know if it will work and for the hard drive i heard that sata gives u errors or something i forgot i don't whats the difference anyways?

 

[YourPrinter]

sata's a lil faster i dunno where ur getting ur information but any hdd can have errors

koldapu i like ur new avatar ^_^

 

[koldapu]

sata is theoretically faster plus the cable is smaller, allowing better airflow in your comp . . .

how much money are you willing to spend? cause you need something better than 9800pro to play doom3 at good fps. . .

 

[xkrazy]

not as i don't want to waste so much money on my parents so around 1200 CAD

 

[YourPrinter]

9800 is fine if ur on a budget

 

[koldapu]

[xkrazy]
